PRINTING IMAGES

A digital camera provides you with a variety of different ways to print the images it records. The three main printing methods are described below. Use the method that best suits your needs.

The camera’s DPOF feature lets you specify which images you want to print and how many copies of each you want. For more information, see “DPOF” (page 153).

■Printing Directly on a Printer Equipped with a Card Slot, or a Printer that Supports USB DIRECT-PRINT or PictBridge

After using the camera’s DPOF feature to specify the images you want to print and how many copies of each should be printed, you can plug the memory card into a printer equipped with a card slot, or connect the camera to
